Chapter 106

Pang Tong and Xu Shu enter the study and bow their hands to Zhang Xiu.

They sat down with a relaxed look.

Zhang Zhongjing is responsible for the disease in the army. There's no need to worry about the spread of the disease. Now it's just a matter of freezing weather.

It's not too urgent.

After all, it's not the coldest yet.

Pointing to the black charcoal burning in the brazier in the middle of the study, Zhang Xiu said, "look, this is a gift from Zhong Jing Gong. "It is also called" black stone "for its long heat release

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "I've heard people say that if you don't pay attention to the heating of black charcoal, you will die of poisoning. Although it can keep warm, it's not the right way

Zhang Xiu explained: "if there is smoke and pungent smell when burning, it is really toxic. But black stone burns, there is no smoke, there is no pungent taste, it is non-toxic

When Xu Shu heard the string song, he knew his elegance and said, "does the Lord want to use this thing to keep warm and let the people live through the cold winter?"

"Yes

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

Xu Shu asked, "where is it?"

Zhang Xiu replied, "according to Zhang Zhongjing, there is such black charcoal on Lushan Mountain in Luyang county."

"All the black charcoal exists in the open air."

"As long as the location of the black carbon is found, people are arranged to excavate it, and then it is shipped back, then it can be sold. It was a very difficult year because of the cold winter and heavy snow. We will send our soldiers north to take over Lushan, and then we can recruit people to exploit it. "

"On the one hand, recruiting people for mining can make people earn some money to support their families."

"On the other hand, if we sell the black carbon in large quantities, we can earn a lot of money and lay the foundation for our next expedition against foreign enemies."

"There is enough money to fight. If you don't have money in your pocket, you can't afford to pay for your troops, you can't keep up with your food, and you can't win a battle if your soldiers are listless. "

"It's going to be done at once."

Zhang Xiu said, "this is my idea. What's your opinion about it?"

After thinking about it, Xu Shu replied, "my Lord's elaboration is very detailed and well considered. If we can excavate the black carbon in the open air, that's OK. After all, the cost is low, and it can supply a large number of people. In addition, we can also sell Blackstone to more places through Pang's, Huang's and Kuai's channels. "

Pang Tong said: "this is a good thing, once it is done. The Lord's influence will go up to a new level. "

Zhang Xiu continued: "I'm going to let Huang Zhao go, let him take charge of mining, transport back the black carbon from Lushan, and then sell it in a unified way. But the Pang family, the Kuai family and the Huang family do have to come for the specific operation. We don't have such a huge network. "

Pang Tong said, "my Lord is wise!"

Xu Shu said: "I also agree with humble position."

See two people have no opinion, Zhang Xiu immediately sent Huang Zhao called, arranged for Huang Zhao to deal with things.

After hearing this, Huang Zhao was very excited.

It's good to have something to do.

At the earliest time, he was at the forefront of Zhang Xiu's command, because he was the most trusted person of Zhang Xiu. With the joining of Gan Ning and Chen Dao, he could not compare with them in martial arts, wisdom, and the ability of unifying troops.

Gradually, he began to be marginalized.

It's not Zhang Xiu's intention to marginalize him, it's lack of ability, no wonder others.

Although Huang Zhao had to be important, he was always lost. Now I got Zhang Xiu's arrangement, and I was excited and assured: "Lord, don't worry, I promise to finish the task."

Zhang Xiu said, "I will give you a thousand soldiers to do a good job."

"Here it is

Huang Zhao got the order, got up and left.

Zhang Xiu and Xu Shu, Pang Tong discussed other things of Nanyang County, just let them leave.

Time goes by day.

Three days is fleeting.

If it is true, as Zhang Zhongjing expected, the wind cold disease of soldiers in the army is completely controlled, and there are no more soldiers infected. Even the sick people in the city have almost recovered after Zhang Zhongjing's treatment in recent days.

Zhang Zhongjing is very busy now.

He was not only busy with curing the disease and saving the people, but also had to travel through the streets of the city to find a suitable place to build the hospital. In addition, he had to use his own relationship to invite some people with medical attainments to help him.

After all, Zhang Zhongjing is a lonely man.

To build a large hospital, there must be more doctors.

When Zhang Zhongjing is busy, Zhang Xiu is at leisure. Apart from being in the county government office when dealing with government affairs, he spent most of his time in Huang's shop with Huang Yueying.

They are very close to each other.

Even Huang Chengyan acquiesced that Zhang Xiu was the son-in-law of the Huang family, and the two had a lot less obstacles.

On this day, while Zhang Xiu was chatting with Huang Yueying, a soldier came quickly and reported: "general, people from the imperial court came to the county government and said that they had come to call.""I'm going now!"

Zhang Xiu nodded to answer, looking at the side of Huang Yueying, said: "Yueying, you are busy, I'll go back to have a look."

Huang Yueying worried: "is the imperial court going to deal with you?"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "it's impossible. The most possible thing is that the news that I killed the Huns was sent to Yuyang county. Don't worry. I'll see when I go back. "

"Be careful," said Huang

Zhang Xiu got up and left. After leaving Huang's house, she rode straight to the county government.

When he returned to the county government, he met the servant who had come to summon him.

When the Lord arrived, the servant did not delay. He spread out the imperial edict and read out the emperor's edict. There were more than a thousand words in the words, but the main idea of the imperial edict was that Zhang Xiu had made great contributions to the killing of the Huns and was promoted to be the prefect of Nanyang County.

Promotion!

This is the appointment of the court.

Before that, when Pang Tong was in obedience, he had asked for merit.

Now, finally, there are results.

After thanking her, Zhang Xiu asked someone to reward her for some money and sent her away.

County government, in the hall.

Take your seat.

Pang Tong thought in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Lord, although the imperial edict issued by the imperial court is the order of the emperor, it is actually the order of Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao, as a herdsman in Yanzhou, is adjacent to Jingzhou. Please be clear about the situation of Nanyang County and know about your gratitude and resentment with Liu Biao."

"It's more than enough to kill the Huns by the Lord, not to mention being the prefect of a county, even the generals of four towns at the level of Zhennan general."

"But Cao Cao didn't appoint you as a military officer. Instead, he appointed you as the prefect of Nanyang County. Although he praised you, there was also Cao Cao's ulterior motives."

Pang Tong put forward his conclusion.

Zhang Xiu was also thinking about Cao Cao's intention and asked, "what's the intention?"

Pang Tong said, "kill with a knife!"

"The reason why Cao Cao did this was to use Liu Biao's hand to deal with the Lord. In other words, with the help of the Lord, we can deal with Liu Biao, either way. "

"In today's world, all localities are autonomous."

"The imperial court has no control over all places."

"Under such circumstances, Cao Cao knew that Nanyang County was under Liu Biao's rule, and he could not control Nanyang County, but he appointed his Lord as the prefect of Nanyang County. It was clear that he was driving away tigers and swallowing wolves, killing people with a knife, and it was intentional."

"Praising the Lord not only reflects the magnanimity of Cao Cao, but also reflects the esteem of the imperial court, achieving the purpose of Cao Cao."

Pang Tong said: "Cao Cao is a hero."

Xu Shu nodded: "generally speaking, if you can get the appointment of the imperial court, you will take the initiative and have great righteousness. For the Lord, this is extremely advantageous. According to the rules, the official position of the prefect should have been appointed by the imperial court. So even if Liu Biao was angry, there was no way. Even if Liu Biao is offended, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "

Zhang Xiu big sleeve a brush, self-confident way: "offend Liu Biao thing, is not one or two."

Pang Tong said, "it's true!"

Zhang Xiu continued: "after killing Yi Ji, Liu Biao's face was gone; in Wan County, we killed Wei Yan, Liu Biao's face was ruined, but he didn't show anything. Now I take over the post of the prefect of Nanyang County. As long as I don't attack Xinye, Liu Biao won't do anything. "

"My Lord is wise!"

When Xu Shu heard the speech, he also nodded his head.
